my favourite fics and writers
hi, y'all!! so I've decided that this year, I want to be more appreciative of all the amazing content we have on this app, and thank the writers providing it. this was inspired by Lily (lastnightwaskindofablur) who shared how long it took her to write her series, and it made me realise how much time and love are poured into these fics.
so this list is basically everyone im following, and my favourite piece of writing from them! I don't think I've forgotten anyone, but if I have IM SO SORRY!! if I am following you- I'm obsessed with you.
anyway, so sorry for tagging 1000 people but I love and appreciate you all so much!!
(so much rambling below the cut)
@64yrsold; ā€œachesā€ is amazing and ā€œwinteringā€ is heartbreaking in the best way. Also, all of their one-shots are just amazing, I could read them over and over again!!
@abiiors; is not only one of the nicest people on this app (and maybe the world) but also one of the most talented writers. so so many amazing fics that honestly, don't even get me started on bc I will talk for HOURS. but ā€œhaunt//bedā€ is one fic I can't stop coming back to. And ā€œThreeā€™s a Partyā€ isā€¦ mind-numbingly good, it actually made me scream into a pillow when I read it for the first time. Vee also creates all the amazing 75 Tumblr activities so really she is to thank for SO MUCH content on here!! one of the kindest people I know, and I feel so lucky to call her my friend :)))
@yourtouchismidas; ā€œruinsā€ was one of the first fics that had me checking AO3 every day for updates. truly heartbreaking and all-encompassing. and all the blurbs from it are also amazing. The dad! Matty content mixed with the angst is just so well done.
@shinycollarboneapologist; was the blog where I started rambling and sharing ideas, so she is to thank for all the friends I've made on here!!! The Taylor verse is PHENOMENAL and ā€œillicit affairsā€ is a fav. but ā€œclandestineā€ has invaded my brain so much I literally dream about it regularly... so I have to say that's my no.1
@imagine-that-100; I first discovered her series "Drunkā€ on ao3 and then promptly binged everything on her masterlist (multiple times...) ā€œChicken Shop Dateā€ is just a masterpiece (she and her co-writer are AMAZING on this and I will ramble about her later), but my personal fav is ā€œtruth serumā€. I have probably read that fic about 50 times over and I love it just as much every time!!!
@heyidkyay; I first read ā€œWho Can Say No to Bridezilla?ā€ and became obsessed on ao3. but then I found them on Tumblr and was completely sucked into "I guess I'll take this pain, instead of your name" which is quite possibly the best George series on here. so much character building and back story, and overall just a phenomenal fic.
@justlikemebutsixfootthree; has some of the best smut on this app,ā€ The Birthday Partyā€ is probably my most re-read because it is just an absolute masterpiece. but ā€œinsaneā€ and ā€œdirectionā€ are also both amazing.
@imightgetbetter; was one of the first blogs I discovered on here, and I fell in love with the whole ā€œLove It If We Made Itā€ series. such an amazing development of a relationship and their writing is AMAZING. but my absolute favourites have to be ā€œBets are offā€ and ā€œI love dilfs.ā€
@butyou-callmewhenyourebored; has such good Ross content all around, truly providing for the Ross girlies!!! but the Leeds au blurb 1 is my fav from them!
@drivelikeiido; has some beautiful fluff, and I just love the way they write Matty. but (not so) important decisions just make my heart warm like nothing else!!!
@toomuchracket; my beloved mads!! the fun wine aunt of 1975 Tumblr. I mean I could talk for 17 pages about my love for all of her au's... birthday party is the perfect supportive husband, d-word is the best slutty old man content on this app lol and flatmate is the friends-to-lovers content we all yearn for. asking me to choose my favourite Mads fic is like choosing a favourite child, but right now it has to be totally wrecked. I think that has altered my brain chemistry in an indescribable wayā€¦ (edit; since writing this she has put out possibly my no.1 fic of all time, ā€œand this is how it startsā€ so I just had to mention how much I fucking adore it)
@lottiecrabie; I mean... what else is there to even say about Lottie other than she is one of the best writers I have ever read. truly the mother of 1975 Tumblr. ā€œrockstar girlfriendā€ and ā€œpray for my soulā€ both have such special places in my heart, but anatomy au locked a new section in my brain fr. that little loser lives in my head rent free!!!
@tillthelandslide; is so so kind and has some amazing series I would recommend to EVERYONE. ā€œinsufferable assholeā€ is one of my absolute favourites, I love a grovelling man what can I say!!! but ā€œSame for Youā€ has me flipping sides every chapter, I still can't choose if I'm team Ross or team Matty.
@lastnightwaskindofablur; what more can I sat about the whole ATPOAIM universe other than it is quite literally phenomenal. the amount of time and effort poured into the Brittany Jackson universe is so clear by how amazing each fic and blurb is. my absolute favourite thought is "Christmas isn't cancelled (just you.)" from the 12 days of Christmas. it is easily one of my favourite fics I've read!!! She is also the whole inspiration behind this list and made me realise how important thanking your favourite writers really is.
@cowboylor; ohmyLORD the smut on this blog is just... wowowoowowowow. actually made me nervous to attempt smut because of how good theirs is. "Cabin Fever" is probably my favourite, I love a good threesome fic.
@alovesreading; the other half of the JAW DROPPING series that is ā€œChicken Shop Dateā€. the hours that have been put into that fic are so clear in how well thought out it is. every word feels purposefully placed, and every chapter fucking HITS. A also writes amazing fics for Alex Turner and is slowly making me an Alex girlie just by how good her writing is...
@bookish-strawberry; such such good fics in the "You and Me Till the End Universe". Ambrose has just created such loveable characters and you can't help but adore his writing. ā€œalleywayā€ pt 1 and 2 are my favourites, I do love some fwb content.
@hypersonic04; her teacher Ross universe is just great, every blurb and fic just radiates the love between the characters that she has created!! but my absolute favourite fic of hers has to be "Tis the damn season", it somehow made me love one of my favourite songs even more.
@cows-wearing-my-sweater; has some amazing one-shots, and his work on ā€œEternal Summerā€ is absolutely beautiful. she manages to make you feel the warmth of summer through a screen, and it's fucking beautiful.Ā 
@poisonmedaddy13; Ross girlies do I have the blog for YOU. so much good Ross-tent, but my all-time favourite is the ā€œMirrorballā€ series. As someone who HEAVILY relates to that song, that fic is just... so so real and amazing. every chapter is just as good as the last, if not better!
@cryley; her ā€œPetichorā€ series is just fluffy perfection, I have probably read it over 10 times and will 1000% be reading it at least 10 more...
@thefrontofmymind; has so many great matty fics/imagines, ā€œHelping Handā€ jumps out easily as my favourite though. Once again, friends with benefits is ALWAYS gonna slap. especially when they confess their feelings at the end!!!! ahhh so good. ā€œProof Positiveā€ is such a good Ross fic, if you like pregnancy fics I would HIGHLY recommend it.
@uramilf; did the 12 days of Christmas last year, and every day was amazing!!! But Ā£The Record Shopā€ is my favourite series from her, love and music combined are too perfect for me not to adore.
@3terna15unshin3; Marcey's fic "then because she goes" had me refreshing ao3 DAILY. este is such a well-rounded and beautiful character, her and Matty's love makes me so lovesick it's CRAZY. that whole series is my favourite, and my fav blurb from that universe is Toothbrush. Este and Matty are so beloved by me <333
@because-she-goes; has an amazing universe with Matty and an OC that I adore, Nora is such a lovely character and every fic about them makes me giddy. "black lace" and "Summer Girl" are my favourites of their fics though!
@theseventyfive; has such a way with words, every fic makes me giggle and kick my feet. but if you saw my tags on my reblog of "not so secret Santa" you know how deeply I adore that fic. the writing on it is beautiful and makes you feel warm somehow??? amazing.
@wrongendofurcigarette; George girlies it's your time to shine!!!! "sun-soaked" and "wet" swirl in my mind whenever I see a pic of George looking... particularly good. but recently she has created an actress reader au that I am BUZZING for. that little snippet was... wowowowowowowow
@automaticllamacycle; OLIVE!!!!! once again, such a nice and genuine human being and I am so so lucky to chat with her because she is the best hypeman EVER. and is amazing to bounce ideas off of. just such a kind person and I am blessed to scream to her over DM. her coffee shop AU might be my most-read fic ever. it was my daily routine at one point to wake up, go to AO3 and read that fic. when part 2 came out???? I DIEDDDDDDD. but also all of olives horny thoughts are... MUWAH chefs kiss.
@red---moon; "after party" is another fic I read regularly on ao3, sleepy matty after a party with flirting and then smut??? hellooooo yes please. also, ā€œSouvenirā€ as a series is just amazing, so so so good.
@maxverstappensflatbrim; ā€œshow me yoursā€ is such a beautiful universe, and has SO MANY CHAPTERS for you to become obsessed with. I just love every character in that universe, and Macā€™s writing is amazing.
@justanamesstuff; ā€œAll I Needā€ is such an amazing series, and I would recommend it to anyone who loves Dad! Matty content!! But all her blubs are worth reading too!!
@procrastinatinglikeapro; is so so sweet and has some absolutely mind-blowing fics. I must have read her entire masterlist 10 times over at this point. Choosing a favourite is hard, but ā€œDoes it matterā€ as a series has me HOOKED. (but also I love ā€œmango lipglossā€ and ā€œwear my name around your neckā€ā€¦ don't make me choose okay)
@mybrokenveins3000; college ross SUPREMACY!!! She is right when she says she is proud of ā€œeveryday rockstarā€ because it's easily my fav!!
@wrestletotheground; has some absolute BANGERS that everyone MUST read. Once again, the ross-tent on this blog is amazing. ā€œCrime and Punishmentā€ is my fav Matty fic from them, and she absolutely killed it with ā€œSettle Downā€ for Ross!!
@steel-elle; beautiful writing with everything she does, but my favourite has to be ā€œBut I stay when it's hard, or it's wrong, or we're making mistakesā€ (is this also because I love the song New Year's Day?? perhapsā€¦)
@kscheibles; ā€œe la vitaā€ is so stunning I don't even know how to verbalise it. That fic has a portion of my heart FOREVER. But college bf! Matty is truly the man we all deserve, and I am obsessed with him.
@think0fmehigh; molly!!! My love!!! What else is there to say about Molly other than she might be my fav filthy smut writer on this app, and thats a tough competition. Every time I get a snippet in DMā€™s from her, I feel like one of the luckiest human beings alive. Molly does not have a bad fic (despite her protests im sure) but my top two (because I CANT CHOOSE JUST ONE) have to be ā€œBirthday Girlā€ and ā€œYou Get Me So High.ā€ but honestly if you have the time, bless your life by reading every word she's ever written.
@controlmyfeet; DAD MATTY FIC. thats all I even need to say, it is SO SWEET and it makes me so happy!!!!
@bfiaflbox; sooooo much good content, but my favourites are ā€œWinteringā€ and ā€œTonight I Wish I Was Your Girlā€ !!
@nowshesdoingitallthetime; kirke. This is me BEGGING for more bartender matty!!! ā€œCocktails, Cowboys and back alleysā€ is MWUAH MWUAH MWUAH. Bartender Matty is a need, I adored every second of that fic.
@wiintring; I NEED more from Christina!!! Her writing is all wonderful, and ā€œCome here dressed in black nowā€ does live in my mind!!!Ā 
@grocerystorelist; ā€œbody of Christā€ is made for the religious trauma girlies and the fleabag girls. PREIST MATTY DRIVES ME CRAZYYYYY. Leila is so talented, it's crazy.
@forcryingoutlloud; wowwowwowwow the smutty content on this blogā€¦ its sooooooo good. ā€œBeg for itā€ and ā€œgreedyā€ did melt my brain in the absolute best way, like I was genuinely SWEATING at how hot it was. As is everything on her masterlist!!
@hrryshoney; gyno! Matty unlocked a whole new side to me that I had NO IDEA was there. Likeā€¦ insane. And the newest photographer reader fic also drove me CRAZY because I do love a cocky fictional man and some semi-public sexā€¦
@the1975attheirverybest; Hallaā€™s blog is a great place for discussion, good writing and crazy intelligent analysis of the band. ā€œEducationā€ and ā€œbeing funny in a foreign languageā€ are justā€¦ art. Truly. The character of Amelia and the characterisation of Matty are some of my favourites on this app. Hot smut, good writing and a lovely human being- what else do you need hellooo?? (also the pegging blurb from ages agoā€¦ yeah I think about her A LOT.)
@sugar-coat-it; FILTY, AMAZING SMUT. literally, every piece on Belleā€™s masterlist is worth reading 100 times over. Her newest thigh-riding blurb has been rotting my brain, I can't stop going back to it and reading it. Also, the Kylo Ren ficā€¦ mask kink unlocked fr. and the matty helping you deepthroat fic is also incredible. (can I just name everything she's done orrr???)
@cinomn; Nina has some great content, and I would genuinely recommend anything!! My favourite has to be ā€œSummer Nightsā€, but it's a TOUGH competition tbh!!
@noacfslut; THE WRITING SPEED ON THIS BLOG?? MIND BOGGILING. And not only is Elle speedy, but every fic all absolutely wonderful. ā€œJealousy jealousyā€ and ā€œundoā€ are my favourites, but that might change when I get the chance to read her mechanic au, because from what I've heard, it's also extraordinary.

Here at i-am-an-arson-enthusiast, we i am dedicated to bringing you top quality content such as but not limited to: gay things, cats, and even live arson that you don't even have to tune into!!
hi this is my intro post :D
basic questions that i love answering
ā€œhey what should i call youā€ good question. i dont really care, most of my mutuals call me arson. thats cool. bc i love arson. (clearly) but you can call me really whatever. planet names are dope as shit, but only @marcysbear gets to call me neptune.
ā€œur gayā€ woah really i didnt know that ur like the first person ever to notice that!! (no ur not, ive that for years)
ā€œwhat type of gayā€ yes. the easiest way to explain it is bisexual. that being said: i use bisexual surprizingly little. i call myself lesbian and gay all the time (as in wlw and mlm). guys i fucked up idk where i am on the aromantic spectrum but thatā€™s fine. fun fact: itā€™s been over a month of this identity crisis my personal record :) also im pretty sure polyamorous and will joke abt kissing u if ur cool with it :3
ā€œgender???? you never mentioned gender???ā€ no i didnt. im genderfluid. which explains the pronoun changes. im also trans, nb, genderqueer, and any of the genders and terms i need to articulate what the silly lil dudes in my head make me feel.
AUDHD :D explains why i am obsessed with space (going back to names planet names are cool and epic btw)
ā€œdo u horny post on main???ā€ i reblog horny posts to my main but i dont normally do the original horny posting. tell me if i need tot af that btw :3
my cool and epic tags
i try to consistanly use them but sometimes i dont. sorry.
woah iā€™m using queue - iā€™m actually queuing a post for once instead of spam reblogging (which i mostly do sorry not sorry)
woah a real text post - me positing an actual text post for once but itā€™s becoming more common
cool ass art - art that i reblog (itā€™s all cool)
arson does half way decent art sometimes - my art. art i made. yea
the beloved - my queer platonic partner @terrifying-acceptance who i tag in a lot of shit :]
i will keep adding more as i remember them and make them so yea :D also i try to tag for things but i often dont add tw or cw because. idk. just havent ever done that. if you need me too you can tell me in any form and ill try my gaddamn hardest to add them.
the last section that is mostly important for followers :]
if u wanna follow me itā€™d be cool if you have a banner and pfp but as long as ur like not a bot ur good.
feel free to ask questions :) this is the point at which i tell you that i love getting asks and dms. my dms are always open unless i am dead. (current status: alive at very least.) also i am in school so you are practically guaranteed to get a response not immediately. give me 12-24 hours to respond before being offended. after that itā€™s fair game.
I genuinely do not care and give no fucks about what you believe and how you live your life as long as you dont hurt yourself or others, you are not offended by me being very not religious/spiritual and you do not shove it down anyones throat.
I mostly do reblogs and tag them as such half the time
lastly if you interact with this post it lets me know that you read it but iā€™m gonna look at your profile anyway so you donā€™t have to.
thank you for reading all of that i know itā€™s long. your cool so hereā€™s a cookie šŸŖ also here have this
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
credit to @v-4-l-0-n and @theprideful :)
(order of the banners are ā€œexclusionists fuck offā€, then this user loves being a lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, genderfluid, then non binary)

Hello Magolor and friends, I have been watching your tale play out for a while and its interesting to me. I also brought a gift *place four bags of popeye's chicken in front of them* Its four chicken tender family meals making it 64 pieces of chicken twenty biscuits 20 sauces and 8 sides. I didn't know what you may want so I got 4 sides of fries, 2 sides of mashed potatoes and 2 sides of mac and cheese. Oh right and before I forget I had two questions. First, Magolor are you feeling any side effects from your little heatstroke incident. Second, I saw that Zan Partizanne and Susie are a couple so I was wondering if anyone else among the four of you (sans susie given my earlier point) or other people you know are in relationships. - The Wanderer, Guardian of Omndell

Susie: Thatā€™s oddly specific-
Taranza: Trust me if I knew why I would tell you but- also donā€™t tell Marx I told you this Iā€™ll never hear the end of it
Susie: oh donā€™t worry I wonā€™t. Iā€™ll just use this information to mess with him
Wanderer belongs to: @the-omndell-chronicles !!
(ā€¦. Itā€™s been. Almost a month. Since I answered an ask. And itā€™s been. Almost 3 months. Since Iā€™ve gotten this ask. Um. So how yā€™all doing)
(Anyways HOLY FUCJING SHIT ITS BEEN ALMOST A MONTH SINCE I FED YOU GUYS WITH MY ASKS IM SO DAMN SORRY- like I said before- college started, i had to wait for my new iPad to arrive, I have to do actual assignments now and Iā€™ve been B U S Y, and this ask wAS SUPER LONG- I had to restart it twice because I wasnā€™t happy with how it was turning out)
(BUT WOWWWWWIE THIS ONE WAS A FUN ONE. EVEN THOUGH I RESTARTED THE SCRIPT DURING THE WORKINF PROGRESSES THIS ONE WAS A FUN ONE AND I ENJOYED IT. I NEED TO PROPERLY PREPARE MYSELF FOR THESW LONG ASKS-)
(AND DAILY REMINDER ESPECIALLY WITH LIFE STARTINF TO GET MORE BUSY FOR ME. YOURE ASKS ARENT BEING IGNORED. NOT ONLY AM I LETTING A WHEEL PICK FOR ME BUT IM SUPER BUSY NOW. This time Iā€™m going to focus on the asks from July before I go back to the wheel BUT hopefully now that this big one is finished theyā€™ll come out quickly- Iā€™ll try to get 1-2 out by the weekends but if not then please forgive me)
(And to those that read my tags on posts that were marx and Magolor focused- where I get extra silly. Yes this is technically a part where it starts to pick up but itā€™s more of a prologue if anything so do with that what you will)
(Ok anything else I wanna say- oh yes- Magolor isnā€™t lying he hasnā€™t been experiencing any side effects that were linked to the fainting incident. But his friends are keeping and extra close eye on him when the weather is hotter than usual. Man I hope something like that doesnā€™t happen again that would be cra-)
(OKOK ONE LAST BIT IF IMPORTANT INFO- I normally draw characters from the magoverse for silly and fun but this time I tried to draw this askers OC wanderer for fun- I tried goikg based off the text post that was on their profile but if I messed anything up then I DEEPLY apologize- Iā€™ll try to make fixes if I donā€™t forget-)

As someone who just reblogs posts without saying anything, the reason I don't say anything when I reblog them is because one part, I often have nothing to say. And the other part is that most of the time when I comment on a post by reblogging it, the original poster never sees it or interacts with it. I feel like I'm screaming into the void, too.
I'm not trying to call anyone out, I'm not trying to shame anyone. Your point is still valid--it is 100% reasonable for you to feel the way you feel. I'm just providing my excuse for why I don't generally leave comments on your posts or on your blog. I'm pretty new to the fandom and pretty low on the fandom totem ladder, I think I'm one step up from an unknown. I don't get interaction most months, either, and I know that my interacting with anyone doesn't count for anything.
You are not under any obligation to interact with everyone who reblogs your posts with comments. I am not saying that you have to interact with me or that you're under some obligation. You are a popular member of the Tumblr 40k fandom with a lot of followers, I am one scream in the darkness. This is just me explaining why I just stalk your blog (do we still say that? We did back in 2012...) instead of talking to you. Also, I think our interests in the fandom are very different? But I love watching your enthusiasm, seeing your takes. I feel like I'm watching a Very Important Scholar dispensing wisdom in the public forum. (I won't even leave likes on peoples' posts because of what you and Tage have said about the likes! And now that I finally have a post that got popular, I kind of get that???? Sucks that it's not a post of literally any of my art, none of my drawings or writing, just a stupid picture I took where I tagged someone Very Important in the fandom without their permission, very rude of me...) Anyway, it's like, 2am here and I didn't get much sleep.
Pre-emptive sorry for wasting your time!
No no! My post wasn't a callout to anyone specific. And You reblog a lot of my stuff on here and I appreciate it a lot šŸ’™ (I am also a notorious no comment reblogger a lot of the time šŸ˜…)
Reblogging on Tumblr makes me happy. It reaches new people with new perspectives and im still allowed to see the interactions. What I ment was taking the post offsite, to a discord or telegram or whatever where im not a part of the post anymore.
And second of all, you aren't a nobody. There are no hierarchy in fandom, (and anyone who says they are some kind of higher tier is a bit of a cunt imo) I value a good commenter/reblogger the same as a would an artist or writer.
But this is a good response, it clears the air a bit I think. I know I might look and sound scary from afar, but I'm (kind of?) nice. And I don't bite(impossible through the screen, I've tried). Lurking used to and still is encouraged way too much in my opinion.
And to you, and anyone who reads this thinking they are nobodies. That is not true. I was a nobody to Tage when we started talking, and now we (at least from my side) are really good friends, almost more then my afk friends.
It is always ok to comment on my posts, everything from ā€œyou are wrong and this is why *proceeds to write a 20page rant* to ā€œI want to eat this post so I can carry it inside meā€ makes me smile.
(I have one rule tho; No unwarranted bashing of Abaddon, that leads to an insta block)

haha im flattered you think that! But there are many wonderful fic writers in this community!
GN!reader x Tangerine
tag list:Ā @honestlywtfisgoingonā€‹ @white-wolf-buckaroo @felhomaly @sinfulrefugy @venusthepirate @lunarpansexual @wanderedawayā€‹ā€‹ @georgiee-riviere @mushywuttyā€‹ā€‹ @piechans @apieceoffabulousshit @4ng3l-0n-34rth @minjaz @starl1g4t @earth-elemental18 @luhvbot @underratedboogeyman @july-is-summer @vocalvixen20cp @northerngalxyā€‹ @awakenedevildaysā€‹
He doesnā€™t like cities. Busy, noisy places. Good for getting lost in the midst of people, losing someone trailing you, but an arseache for everything else. Well, except for London, which holds a special place in his heart. He does slag off London a lot, but, well, heā€™s allowed to. He grew up there. Itā€™s like insulting a family member. HeĀ can do it but god forbid anyone else does.
As yet another person bumps into him, Tangerine realises maybe itā€™s the crowds he doesnā€™t like. The sweat and bustle of other people. Heā€™s a bit of a misanthrope really. He doesnā€™t know how Lemon, whoā€™s so good at reading people, doesnā€™t dislike them more.
Another person barrels into him, hitting his left arm, and this time heā€™s had enough. He spins on his heel, violence on his lips.
ā€œWould you fucking watch - ā€
Then he goes quiet, words failing him. He wasnā€™t expecting you.
You blink at him, doe-eyed and innocent. Looking genuinely appaled at yourself for upsetting him. Dressed all in black as if youā€™re on your way to somewhere important, the outfit hugging your figure. Heā€™s momentarily lost for words, then clears his throat to steady himself.
ā€œSorry, darling. Didnā€™t mean it.ā€
You smile and his heart does a funny little jump in his chest at the sight of it. Fuck. This isnā€™t good.
ā€œSorry to interrupt youā€¦ darling,ā€ you say, letting the pet name roll around your mouth. It makes Tangerine take in a sharp breath.
Heā€™s not sure why heā€™s a little sad when you disappear into the crowd. But he watches you go anyway.
With a sigh he goes to check the time.
His wrist is bare.
He furrows his brow. His watch. He never goes anywhere without his watch. Definitely put it on this morning. So whyā€¦
You.
ā€œOh, you little sod,ā€ he mutters, halfway to a chuckle at the indignance of it, and takes off after you.

hello dear! so for the asks game:
1. My favorite fic of yours: favorite choices and rough surfaces
2. My favorite chapter in my favorite fic of yours: a close call but chapter 4 of careless whisper has my heart
3. The best character you've written for: sam and bucky I'm not choosing. you write them both perfectly
4. The best ship you've written for: sambucky duh
5. A fic I haven't read yet from you, but I want to: none obviously. (can you say the same, a? can you?)
6. Something I remember vividly from reading one of your fics: TOO MUCH. bucky's monolgue from ch4, they chase the sun like i chase you sunshine, it was dangerous, they both have their scars, sam stopped caring about those a long time ago. how do you think i notice all those little recurring details
7. What made me the most emotional after reading: I don't recall exactly the chapter but you should. it's the careless whisper chapter thay physically pained me I couldn't reread it again immediately. also ch4 again and deadly kiss. you make me cry a lot a
8. What I like the most about your writing: man i fucking love it all. your attention to details, your descriptions, your poetic lines. your deep understanding of the characters, how you say soo much with one simple line. how you set the scene wonderfully, foreshadowings and callback. i love everything
9. A fic i'm excited for you updating/posting: obviously careless whisper
10. A character/ship I didn't enjoy/think about as much before you wrote about them: sarahrhoedy. i never even considered the possibility but now they consumed me
11. Something I wish/hope you write: god I hope you don't take this as pressure but it's gotta be the soulmates au
12. A fic of yours that i've re-read: so many deadly kiss, i replay every embrace, I'm blanking but you know the ones. i think i reread most of them anyway
13. If i've ever shared/talked about your fic to someone else: to anyone who'd listen. uhh i think i did before yes
14. A fic I didn't expect to like so much: favorite choices obviously. and you know why! but dammit that fic is a masterpiece and i adore it so much. made me tear up
15. Aquestion I have about one of your fics: hmmm I always ask the questions as soon as i think of them. let's seeee. do you think you'll make a playlist for careless whisper and share it with us? both songs you used as titles and ones that remind you of it.
okay that's it now if there are typos ignore them im sleepy. byeee <3
hey! hello! omg! I canā€™t believe you answered all of them omg šŸ˜­
not even gonna tag the fics because thatā€™s basically all of them, so instead gonna tag my ao3.
from this list
I donā€™t even know what to say, I just keep rereading every answer and beaming. Gonna try to say something anyway tho!
2. Chapter 4 of careless whisper also has my heart. The confrontation scene between Sam and Bucky especially is very important. Also I was really happy with the song choice and how itā€™s echoed throughout the chapter. (I go back and forth between how I feel about my writing in the chapter, but itā€™s always special to me and ultimately Iā€™m happy with it)
5. No you canā€™t say that! Have you read my ronarry stuff? No, you didnā€™t. (Okay and neither can I, but not the point)
6. gonna cry actually. brb
7. That would be chapter 5! I very vividly remember you reading it for the first time and our very emotional conversation afterwards. (Sorry for making you cry a lot)
8. (another crying break) omg you have no idea how much this means to me. thank you so much baby <333
10. sarahrhodey for the win!
11. one day. i promise. it deserves to see the light of day
14. itā€™s still absolutely crazy to me how much you like that fic. i didnā€™t even think youā€™d read it and you not only read, itā€™s one of your favourites now. man
15. I think I might, yes. Maybe towards the end.

I saw the same post you kind of, alleged? (Unsure if it's the correct word) and man oh man, the way it was written felt extremely accusatory for no reason. Like, i have my own opinions about the bigotry in the CR fandom, but it is in no way more or less present than almost any other fandom
Im paraphrasing but it felt like they were saying "hey critters, just so you know this story has PoC and it's very important to PoC (not me of course cause im white) so be cautious and respectful" like ok? And?? (I'm aware that this is ofc how i interpreted the post, and may not be the true intentions of OP)
Sorry im rambling to your askbox, but it just, felt wrong to read lmao
No worries (and the word would probably be alluded to, or honestly you can just say ā€œvaguedā€ here, letā€™s not beat around the bush).
Yeah itā€™sā€¦something. Like, I am also white and so I donā€™t feel comfortable actually going on OPā€™s post to say ā€œuh what the fuck,ā€ but like, racism in actual play fandom is a very valid topic to explore, but ā€œnot watching the original series for a miniseries in which there were black charactersā€ is an entirely neutral choice, particularly if the miniseries has twice as many actors of color (and twice as many black actors) in it as the original.
Anyway it fucking sucks. It co-opts social justice language/the concept of anti-racism but makes it about the white OP's apprehension about a different DM coming into a world they like. I also find that D20 fans have been pretty fucking obnoxious about "I just wonder if CR fans/fans of Matt will understand the rich lore" while not actually providing any tools to understand that lore other than watching A Crown of Candy. Like...obviously I have my biases as a CR wiki editor but the D20 wiki is in shambles. I've gone there to get Neverafter summaries because I'm still struggling to get through that season but do want to know what happens, and there's nothing. If all this whiny, hostile handwringing about how CR fans won't know the lore were replaced by a few hours of cleaning up D20 fan-made resources so they could learn the lore? That would do a thousand times more good. But it's not about that; it's pure snobbery. And here's the thing: it doesn't matter if people do know the lore. It's none of anyone's fucking business what other people watch, and to throw this into the CR main tag acting like people who are fans of CR can't pick up on lore is laughably stupid and incredibly obnoxious but also, if they can't? Why the fuck should that bother an existing D20 fan?
I love ACOC! I do think that if you have the time to watch it, it's a great watch and I highly recommend it! But presumably Brennan and Matt have worked together to set the scene for new viewers. And most importantly, it is not actually problematic for people to come in to the series cold, and it's immensely gross of a white person to act like it is when this is really entirely about their own feelings.
[This is a tangent but I have many thoughts about how to be a welcoming fan to new fans, mostly boiling down to "shut the fuck up and let them enjoy themselves without trying to meddle in the business of strangers simply because they like what you like." Anyway it's interesting bc I find CR fans err in the other direction of trying to be too welcoming in a way I find offputting, and glossing over the fact that yeah actually there is a lot of lore floating around that might be worth checking out if you are so inclined; both approaches suck.]

OK HEY soooo sort of an update under the cut regarding sharing / other tangentially related selfship stuff !!
feel free to not read , i put it under the cut cuz its long/not super important but yea ;3
so idrk how to word this but basically since iv started hangin out on tumblr my views on selfshipping have changed a lot!!! i honestly was not expecting everyone on here to be so lovely and accepting and im so happy to be in a community i feel so comfortable in :'3
but!!! basically: with the nature of me not being open abt f/o on here things have gotten lowk really complicated LMFSJDFJHSF long story short i ended up having to sb a moot today bc i didn't realize we shared a main </3 i feel really bad abt letting that slip thru the cracks, but i just honestly did not know until i saw smth they reblogged today; and i wanted 2 respect their "dni if we share" !
however at the same time as this my views have also changed on sharing !! one week on selfship tumblr and im much more relaxed about it,,, crazy. tbh youre ALL canon and real to me even if we share cuz different versions n multiverse theory n all that. ;p SO
i realized that im comfortable interacting w/ people that i share w if it's not one of their mains, and if they state that theyre comfortable sharing on their profile bc ofc i wanna respect their boundaries!! so from now on i think thats prolly gonna be how i go about things bc it honestly just doesnt trigger me anymore yippee yahoo.
i know tht might be worrisome tho for some who dont wanna view content potentially centered around a character they *also* are dating so if that concerns you, feel free to reach out to me and ask me if we share, ill tell u!!!
or u can just block my #. šŸ”® tag entirely bc that covers anything posted w The Blorbo in mind. i will never explicitly post a character tho so dont worry about being triggered either way! (yeah im prob never publicly revealing sorry)
sorry this is so long and probably WAY deeper than it actually is but im so new here and idrk the ettiquette so i just wanna make sure i dont unintentionally hurt anyone! tbh i never expected anyone to see or interact w this blog in the first place (my policy at first was . "i dont feel comfortable naming my f/o but if we share i wont interact w u!!" not accounting for the fact that ppl could interact w ME first... LMAO i just didnt expect everyone to be so nice and welcoming šŸ˜­) and im so grateful to have virtually met all u guys and ur lovely f/os ;3
anyway x o x o SORRY THAT IS SO FUCKING LONG oh my god anyways. back to ur regularly scheduled programming

ok... i just blocked anon at this point but heres what they said bc apparently i didn't read what i wrote myself(?!)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
i would just leave it at that, but honestly? i do wanna address some things here not bc i feel the need to defend myself to anon, but bc i wanna make it clear to you ppl WHY all this stuff was written.... like im not gonna sugarcoat it, i DO enjoy writing this bc hi. huge whump lover here. making pretty people suffer is my favorite thing. but it's also so important to say that this is FICTION (this is historical rpf which is kinda funny but still, none of this actually happened). there is no real abuse going on so there is no need for any of this performative bullshit. anon is just wasting time bc it goes without saying but i would never ever condone or do this shit irl. idk how it works for other ppl but for me fiction does not affect reality, the only way it does is that it makes me happy precisely because i can do whatever i want and nobody gets hurt. and these mfs dont care, they're dead im sure they have better things to do. anyway i just wanna say:
all the details anon is giving me abt my story makes it sound like they read the whole story, both Dona Dona and the main chapters. that's almost 100k words. when they could have clicked off at any time. when the tags are so clearly right there. like... you did this for what šŸ˜­
i assume the gang rape anon is talking about is in the Tenth Hot Spring when Bentinck serviced a bunch of dudes to seal a deal for William. i would find it kind of difficult to describe it as that... but tbh, yeah, it would have been incredibly hard for him to say no. in any case, so sorry to tell you this anon but there are no perfect victims in this AU! he never sees it as rape because he thinks he deserves it, and because he does enjoy it at times. his whole image as an Ally under an Overlifer kind of relies on that. and while i'll tag it properly, i'm not going to sanitize or sugarcoat it as it's a huge part of his character arc. he doesn't think he's allowed to say no or have boundaries, so he won't! in this society i think it would be hard to find a "perfect victim." Bentinck doesn't cry about this because he thinks he's fulfilling his purpose.
Bentinck being described as a shotacon..... im so sorry that was so fucking funny to me LMFAO
i wouldn't say he enjoyed kissing William's father as a boy, he just thinks he did. obv we don't get to see much of it in Dona Dona bc it's from William's POV. but even then, as an adult, he stills sees it as an honor. AGAIN, part of his whole arc of how he views himself, the religion, and his role in it. that event is kind of the starting point of that, it was put there for a reason and not bc i actually think kids can consent/enjoy assault! in my experience, they can think they did. here again, the perfect victim narrative does not always reflect reality.
you're right, kids can't initiate that! like i said in my disclaimer, it's a result of grooming and how they've been raised. they think they are, but it's just making them easier to abuse. i never once believed they could consent.
im not a rapist period full stop. just not
yeah i romanticize abusive relationships. in FICTION. they're fun to write. jamesborough is a delightful ship and the succubus au has been so fun to work on. real life abusers can choke and i would encourage anyone in a relationship like the ones i write about to seek help immediately.
Anne called Marly a slut bc SHE is victim blaming. EVERYONE victim blames Marly in this story. it's part of HIS arc. i would not blame any victim of this sort of shit irl. and even then, in this universe "slut" doesn't have such a negative connotation as in our world. yes, it is still victim blaming, but how can you read the story and still have it completely fly by your head like that
im aromantic, which i dont know how you wouldnt have just picked up from idk... SCROLLING THRU MY BLOG LIKE ANON SO CLEARLY DID?? LOOKING AT MY ICON?? so no need to pray for those hypothetical partners, it's never happening.

Hello again, thanks for answering! It almost gave me something when I asked the question, but now I think it's not as scary as before, well I have more questions! I'm sorry if there are many, and I apologize if my English is not very good.
1- Ok, we know that R!Tord would keep memories in case R!Tom died, but in the future no one would wonder who was that person for the Red Leader? I mean, the recordings, the painting, the monument and having a country blown to pieces out of nowhere? I guess people would think it was the Red Leader's couple, right?
2- What would be the reaction of the generals if R!Tord had told them the reason why he wants R!Tom?
3- Why I think that the one who is going to end up killing General Weth is going to be R!Tom?
4- The red soldiers are not going to wonder why R!Tom is still alive?
5- I know that this question will probably be answered in future chapters, but will R!Tom be able to freely roam the base? And please tell me that R!Tord will give R!Tom some clothes so he doesn't freeze to death.
6- What would be the reaction of Hillarson and the old unit of R!Tom to see that the Red Leader is "In Love" with R!Tom (I say "in love" because that is not love)
7- Where are Susan and Tomme Bear?
8- In some future we will see Mark and Eduardo?
Oh! and My girlfriend and my friend are proud that I sent you the questions,because they know that I am a very nervous girl and they probably knew that I would never send the questions, by the way my friend has one:
Now ask him how I can force my friend to see regimen and if he answers the comment, I read regimen.
Thank you for taking your time to answer my previous questions, Take care of yourself!
Ayyeee! Hi bud! Its nice to see that you dont think its scary to ask me things anymore hahaha answers below!
Well, people will wonder why Tom was so important, but I think they wouldn't really press for details in fear of Red Leader lashing out. Still, some will suspect that he was a lost love or some such, not that they'd try to confirm it anyway.
Well, shock, most of all, but they won't linger on it too much. RL's whims are very erratic, so at this point they would have already been used to it. So the shock will only last for a moment then they'll just accept it.
Hm, dunno.
They will. But you know. See above.
Hmmm. You'll have to wait for that :]
Hilarson would have a fit, because he knows how bad it would be to have RL's undivided, obsessive, attention. Same goes with Tom's old unit, which I hope you mean the 9th Norway Corps, as they would also do whatever they can to keep Tom away from the RA.
Susan is at home, Tommee bear might be as well.
Uhhhhh, well, I dont believe so, as Regimen will focus mainly on Tom and the other guys.
HAHAHAHA AND NO PROBS CHUM! I'm glad you feel comfortable enough to ask me questions :D
And as for what your friend said, I dont think I can force anyone to read the fic ahahaha, Im not that kind of dude. People can choose whether or not they want to read Regimen, as the story does deal with darker topics, so I wouldn't want to make somebody uncomfortable if they dont like what the tags say :PP
Thanks for stopping by again!!

heya -
you did a four character game back in like, october, and what you wrote hit me so hard that i sometimes still visit the post/screenshot i have of it if iā€™m feeling particularly. sad. itā€™s one of the most important things anyone has ever said to me and you literally donā€™t know anything about me but itā€™s cool. and then at the end of my feels i always look at the tags you left , uh ,, ā€˜sorry im fully drunk right nowā€™ and that is so goddamn funny. you suck. anyway i just looked at the screenshot again & thought maybe i should tell you. i had tony stark, sherlock, lambert, & iroh
Hello! Ok. Iā€™ve read your ask a few times and Iā€™m not completely sure how you feel about me because tone on the internet is hard. It seems like you like visiting the post but then you say that I suck so Iā€™m not 100% sure šŸ˜…
So I am just gonna plow ahead and tell you how I feel about those posts. For those reading who werenā€™t following then or donā€™t remember, almost six months ago I posted this:
Ok, how about this game? Send me four pics of your favorite blorbos and I will psychoanalyze you.
Hereā€™s how it works:
Send four pics
I need to know at least three of them. If it is live action scifi and fantasy, Iā€™m very likely to know them. (If you want to do animated, I wonā€™t know them unless itā€™s ATLA, Arcane, or Castlevania. I wonā€™t know any video games other than The Witcher.)
I will psychoanalyze you.
This is for entertainment and fun. I am not a psychologist.
i might be too close for comfort. I might be incorrect. Pls pls pls donā€™t be mad. I donā€™t know you. This is just for fun.
Iā€™ll do this til tomorrow.
Send me your blorbos.
I think waaaaaaaay too deeply about fiction, as anyone who follows me knows. I also think a whole lot about psychology and human behavior. Thatā€™s been more for my own survival.
So I thought hey this will be fun. Iā€™ll look at the characters. Iā€™ll find a common thread of emotional impact each of these characters can have on people. Iā€™ll find a common point of emotional connection between them all. Then Iā€™ll free flow.
And on one hand it was fun. I really do like doing it.
But on the other hand I started getting really really anxious every time I answered one. What if I missed the mark and offended the asker? Or worse? What if I hit too close to home and made them feel too vulnerable?
I know itā€™s just fictional characters and I was clear that it was for fun and I tried to come from a place of affection and positive uplifting thoughts for each person.
BUT STILL I didnā€™t know how I was making each person feel and that was freaking me out because what if I was making them feel bad?? (I often worry about the way I make people feel on the internet. I canā€™t see you guys so I donā€™t know how Iā€™m making you feel so I get neurotic about it.) and not everyone responded to my answer and so ofc I just worried twice as hard when that happened.
So I have actually a lot of those asks left sitting unanswered in my ask box. It was really popular. People sent me asks who didnā€™t follow me, so even though people didnā€™t all rb their posts, it somehow broke containment (people were maybe sharing in dms or discord?) and I got a lot of them. But at some point my worry and anxiety about it stopped me finishing answering them. And now itā€™s six months later and I donā€™t know what to do with the posts I still havenā€™t answered. Would it be weirder to answer them or not answer them?
Anyway. Back to your post.
Everything I answer and put out there is with love even when inebriated and overly honest. And I just went back and reread my answer to you and went yep. Thatā€™s still what I see as the connective tissue between those characters. I hope on the balance it was a positive experience for you.

hii i love ur smau sm!! i just wanted to ask if u have any tips for new writers on tumblr like me,, i just posted my first enha imagine earlier and there were no likes/reblogs so i started to lose confidence if i should continue writing and stuff : ( anyways i love u and thank u in advance <3
hi honey !! thank you sm <3 omg,,, i suck at these but i will try to give you tips (and for others too sjdjsjs)
1. i'm pretty sure everyone does this, read. not just fics here, but also books. yk what i mean right? like,,, books yk, harry potter, percy jackson series, rainbow rowell books. oh, try reading classics, too. c.s. lewis books (soecifically, yes. narnia.), sonnets of elizabeth barret browning, etc. oh, lang leav. yes. how can i forget her? reading improves not only your writing, your comprehension, too. your vocabulary would widen. also, don't stick with only one author. read varieties of books from different authors, compare their writing styles, and then you'd find your own style. one you're confident with.
2. don't force yourself to write, okay? if you don't have a motivation, but you have the idea, don't force it. if you really don't want to write as of the moment, then dont. i swear, you wont be satisfied with your work. it will come to you naturally, okay? <3
3. if you're going to write a long fic like 5k beyond words or series, write down the flow of the story. like what happens,,, like this.
Tumblr media
yes, it's wob. i dont mean to shove a promo down your throat, this is just rlly an example. šŸ˜­ it's not impossible that you would get random ideas for the fic in the most random times, if you feel the urge to write that part only, go ahead. when you get to that part, you can always rewrite it, that is if you want to rewrite it. but seriously, you don't have to write it in order. like, you're still in part three, but you want to write part seven, go ahead. write part seven, put it aside until you get to that part, reread it if ever there are some parts that dont make sense, edit it. yk? tbh most of my fics are like,,,, endings first šŸ˜­
4. proofread šŸ˜­ i swear, do it. i don't do it and i regret it most of the times because there are some little details that i forgot to put, and yknow, i really believe that even the smallest details can make a big change in the whole story. so, proofread it before posting, really.
5. as long as you're happy with how your work is, you're more than just good to post your work. but ofc pls likes comments and rbs wont hurt pls dont just like, also leave comment and rb it with feedbacks, we love hearing from you. also, if you have anyone you rlly trust to read your work and critique for you, go ahead. but it's also totally fine if you're more than satisfied <3
6. regarding with what you said, you got no likes or reblogs, here's the thing, it happened to me too when i first posted here. and the thing is, it's bcs your blog is probably new. you havent liked, rb or posted anything yet. and tumblr is making sure that u're not a bot, so im pretty sure that's what happened to you. it probably didnt appear in the tags, that's all. speaking of, tags are important too! make sure you use the proper tags so people can see it <3 dont lose confidence honey !! i'm pretty sure your work is great. <3 ily
this is short, i think. i'm sorry i suck at giving advices but these are the main points that come to mind šŸ˜­ ily honey <3 and to everyone who wants yo start off, go ahead. everyone is here for you. readers and writers. love you my loves <3

You donā€™t have to answer this but I read your tags and was super interested in the blood magic you mentioned on a post. I was wondering if you could tell me about that please? Thanks anyways (:
yeah absolutely, but let me preface this by saying i am in no way qualified to give spiritual advice lmao. my approach to spirituality and magic has been very "dive in and see what happens," which i REALLY dont recommend. its important to make informed decisions and take measures to protect yourself with anything, spirituality included - im just irresponsible and dont follow my own advice most of the time lmao.
also, this is gonna be a long one, so sorry in advance lol.
but uh yeah, i started getting into blood magic a few months after i started praying to the moon. i was sort of in a weird place with spirituality where i had left christianity a few years prior and wasnt sure what i believed or if i even believed anything, but the moon was always sort of there. like, the actual moon itself - not its energy or any associated deity, but like the actual moon. i always sort of felt grateful that it was such a beautiful natural constant, so i just sort of said fuck it, might as well just say thank you when i see it, y'know? from there, i sort of got more into mindfulness and meditation, and within a few months, my period had regulated and aligned with the full moon. it really caught me off guard, to be honest - just to recap those tags, my periods have always been majorly irregular for uh medical reasons, and nothing i ever did even came close to regulating my cycle until then.
so, long story short, i spent a few years researching and exploring different aspects of spirituality, but eventually, i started working with norse deities - namely odin, thor, and loki, but mostly odin. i researched the runes and found a lot of different stuff regarding the use of blood on the runes and giving blood as an offering, and it sort of resonated with my experience with the moon, so i started using blood in my spiritual practice.
uh, i feel like its worth mentioning here that theres a lot of information about the runes and blood magic that doesnt have any basis in historical paganism - which is fine, im not gonna sit here and tell anyone that their pagan/neo pagan practices are wrong, and frankly i dont know enough about them to really speak on them. unfortunately, most of the information we have about ancient pagan practices has been lost, and its hard to say how blood was actually used in traditional magic. i dont think that invalidates any modern blood-related practices, but i do think its important to just be aware that there is no "historical right way" to practice. just consume information with a critical eye and use your better judgement when researching, especially when it comes to norse traditions. lots of nazis out there will present "historical facts" about paganism that are just blatantly wrong, not to mention harmful and deeply entrenched in hatred, racism, and bigotry.
anyway, for me personally, blood has always held a certain level of importance both physically and spiritually. without diving too deep into my medical history on an already-too-personal tumblr post (lol), ive always had to work with and be very aware of my own blood as part of my health care. blood is also one of those things that i always associated with "magic" before i really understood what that meant for me. it was sort of the same as staring at the moon or looking out at the ocean and feeling a power or significance to it that was - and still is - inexplicable. i always got the sense that these things were alive, perhaps not in the same way that we are alive, but alive in and of themselves nonetheless. regardless of what they are and what we are in a magical, spiritual, cosmic, or whatever type of sense, we are all "alive" in this world. to me, that simply means that we have the potential to communicate with one another in some way shape or form.
so, for me, offering blood is a means of communication. i see my blood as the sort of vessel for my life force, in both a physical and spiritual sense. my spiritual practice sort of relies on honoring the fact that the physical and the spiritual are not separate, and using blood is a big part of that. my blood carries oxygen, iron, water, salt, sugar, and a million other chemicals through my body to keep me alive. to me, that in and of itself is inherently magical. assuming that what we believe about the universe is correct, those same chemicals have been part of reality for as long as it has existed, simply transformed and converted between energy and matter and who knows what else. to me, offering my own blood, which is so intensely connected to my life and existence as i currently am in this universe, is a way to express a desire to connect with and learn from other forces of nature.
uh, as far as actual practices go though, im pretty lax about making offerings lmao. mostly, i'll put a few drops of blood in a wine offering for odin, put blood on the runes as an offering to them, or put blood on candles, crystals, or other spiritual tools to strengthen our connection or express gratitude. i dont really do a lot of "magic" in the sense of enacting change in my life, so i cant really speak on a majority of blood practices or rituals, to be honest. i mostly do divination, and i use blood as a means to express that sense of connection between myself and the universe in order to learn whatever its willing to show me as a result, if anything. really, i just use blood when it feels right to do so, so i dont have a consistent practice or ritual for using blood spiritually.
since im posting this on a public blog, i do want to make a note about health and safety when it comes to blood. aside from the health and sanitation aspects (make sure you clean any wounds, dont mix your blood with other peoples, etc), its important to take care of yourself mentally when engaging in blood practices. theres a difference between offering blood and self harm, and its important to be aware of that distinction, especially if you have a history of self harm or related mental health issues. no entity, deity, spiritual or religious group, or any other party in spiritual/metaphysical practice should ever demand blood or require you to hurt yourself in order to practice, either. it should be a choice made with mutual trust, desire, and respect on both sides.
anyway, sorry that was such a long-winded response, but i hope i answered your question!

DID YOU LIKE MY COUNTDOWN!? That was fun! I had fun. That was actually more fun than I thought it would be! There were too many good posts to name. It was very fun reading all your comments and theories.Ā  Though side note: animal anon has no problem with people joining her BUT it must be animals and it must not mess with my countdown. No statues! Animal anon does animals, not statues. Side side note: can someone settle the debate of if that emoji is a hedgehog or a porcupine? Because I have no idea. Side note side note side note: sorry if you got multiple asks in a day...my system isn't perfected yet so sometimes I send two (or three) because I forgot I sent one and didn't want to accidently miss anyone (also sorry if i did miss you, still perfecting the system, no one has been animal anon blacklisted, i promise!)
Anyway, GUESS WHAT TODAY IS!!! šŸŽ‰šŸŽ‰šŸŽ‰šŸŽ‰šŸŽ‰ It's been one year since I started animal anon! How exciting is that?! Phew, what a year we've had together! I mean what better way to start this second year than some chaos since that's how animal anon started to begin with! I will admit, it was slightly stressful coming up with something to meet the occasion of this event. I hope the countdown and this post live up to it. No, I'm not going to reveal myself just yet.. maybe that will be for year 2...šŸ˜šŸ˜. BUT I will give you some fun facts about me! So let's see; first, I'm from the Midwest (so not Canadian, but close so I do have a slight accent), but I currently live in the TriState area. Second, I am a MASSIVE theater nerd. No, seriously I have been to 21 shows since Broadway reopened in September and I'm actually going to my 22nd tonight. I don't know if this makes that fact better or worse, but I've really only been to about 12 different show because out of those 22, 10 of those are one specific show. Third, I am fluent in German and English. Though, I suck at writing in German, I never learned how to, so don't ask me to do that please. Fourth, my favorite color is red, so you can guess my favorite Taylor album (and coincidently also the show I've been to see 10 times on Broadway...). Fifth, I love to talk A LOT if you couldn't tell by the essays I send yall. And lastly, I can also confirm I am not Taylor...but I will say that I do share something very important with her... tell me your guesses down below as to what very important thing you think Taylor and I have in common, and I'll send some extra animals to whomever I see gets it right first!
So contuining on with my dissertation here, this week I have been trying to figure out a prompt to live up to this occasion. As I already mentioned, my system isn't perfect! And I've been thinking a lot about community lately and how that's been lacking for so many because of Covid. So what I want yall to do is if you get this dissertation of mine, please send a message, post, anon, whatever you want to at least 1 other blog (though you can do more), telling them something you like about them and giving them an animal emoji! That way we can keep spreading the love all day long to as many as possible! šŸ„°
As always, you are all brilliant, kind, worthy, beautiful and as this past week has shown, hilarious and unique human beings. No seriously, some of your posts had me kneeling over in laughter. If you would so like, you can tag #animalanon so I and everyone can read all your lovely posts! IM STARTING EARLY TODAY SO WE CAN PARTY ALL DAY LONG BECAUSE I LOVE YALL SO MUCH šŸŽŠ šŸ¦„šŸ¦šŸÆ
Hi animal anonā€¦sorry my response is a little late. Thank you so much for all you do for tumblr and for keeping our little community alive, you really do bring happiness on here and youā€™re amazing! I am guessing maybe you and Taylor have the same birthday?? Thanks for sharing a little about yourself and thanks for eveything! happy 1 year!

DID YOU LIKE MY COUNTDOWN!? That was fun! I had fun. That was actually more fun than I thought it would be! There were too many good posts to name. It was very fun reading all your comments and theories.Ā  Though side note: animal anon has no problem with people joining her BUT it must be animals and it must not mess with my countdown. No statues! Animal anon does animals, not statues. Side side note: can someone settle the debate of if that emoji is a hedgehog or a porcupine? Because I have no idea. Side note side note side note: sorry if you got multiple asks in a day...my system isn't perfected yet so sometimes I send two (or three) because I forgot I sent one and didn't want to accidently miss anyone (also sorry if i did miss you, still perfecting the system, no one has been animal anon blacklisted, i promise!)
Anyway, GUESS WHAT TODAY IS!!! šŸŽ‰šŸŽ‰šŸŽ‰šŸŽ‰šŸŽ‰ It's been one year since I started animal anon! How exciting is that?! Phew, what a year we've had together! I mean what better way to start this second year than some chaos since that's how animal anon started to begin with! I will admit, it was slightly stressful coming up with something to meet the occasion of this event. I hope the countdown and this post live up to it. No, I'm not going to reveal myself just yet.. maybe that will be for year 2...šŸ˜šŸ˜. BUT I will give you some fun facts about me! So let's see; first, I'm from the Midwest (so not Canadian, but close so I do have a slight accent), but I currently live in the TriState area. Second, I am a MASSIVE theater nerd. No, seriously I have been to 21 shows since Broadway reopened in September and I'm actually going to my 22nd tonight. I don't know if this makes that fact better or worse, but I've really only been to about 12 different show because out of those 22, 10 of those are one specific show. Third, I am fluent in German and English. Though, I suck at writing in German, I never learned how to, so don't ask me to do that please. Fourth, my favorite color is red, so you can guess my favorite Taylor album (and coincidently also the show I've been to see 10 times on Broadway...). Fifth, I love to talk A LOT if you couldn't tell by the essays I send yall. And lastly, I can also confirm I am not Taylor...but I will say that I do share something very important with her... tell me your guesses down below as to what very important thing you think Taylor and I have in common, and I'll send some extra animals to whomever I see gets it right first!

OMG HIIII ANIMAL ANON <333 Iā€™m sorry I havenā€™t gotten to this sooner Iā€™ve been busy this past week. But yes!!! I loved your countdown! It was so fun and sweet šŸ’• thank you so much for always being such a ray of sunlight in this fandom. I canā€™t believe itā€™s been a year since you started sending the animal asks??? Time isnā€™t real. šŸ˜­
Iā€™m honestly a horrible guesser and have no idea what important thing you share with taylor other than maybe living in New York?? Or maybe you also sing!! But omg thatā€™s so cool that youā€™ve been to 22 broadway shows this year alone!! The casts are always so talented so I donā€™t blame you haha.
And yes!!! I will spread some positivity around here on your behalf!! Like you said so many people on here are hilarious and such kind people and they all deserve so much love. <33
